‘B—4 LONGWORTH GIVES | VWS ON TARFE Expresses Opinion Measure Will Be Sent to Conference, Despite Coalition Move. By the Associated Press. Speaker Longworth expressed the opinion yesterday that the tariff bill would be sent to conference when it comes back to the House from the Sen- ate, despite efforts of House Democratic Jeaders to _form a coalition with inde- r':&:nt Republicans from Western Representative Garner of Texas, the Democratic leader, recently made over- tures to independent Republicans in the House to form a coalition to demand a yecord vote on the rates in the Smoot- Hawley bill, as rewritten by the Senate Democratic - ive - Republican combination. Under the Democratic plan, only the administrative features of the measure would be sent to con- ference. Speaker Longworth said the success of the Garner movement was doubtful and held that the Western Republicans in the House would stand by the reg- ulars in sending the entire measure to conference. Representative Strong, Republican, Kansas, a leader of the farm group. said the leadership of the Texan would be rejected, but if he wanted to join the group in helping the farmers he would be welcome. Garner said would like to help the independents bring about relief for the agricultural regions. He added that he did not want the leadership. “If the Republicans will help the farmer,” Garner said, “I am more than willing to follow their leadership.” i FORD CO. LOSES $1560 BY M’CARL DECISION Allotment in Deal With Govern. ment for Second-Hand Motor Truck Accidentally Misstated. ‘The Ford Motor Co. of this city loses $150 under a decision of Controller General McCarl yesterday because an allowance of $245 was made on an old 1926 Ford truck, which had run 50,000 miles, instead of only $95, the allowance. The old car was traded in Tecords, when a dealer at Vincennes. Ind., confused an appraisal on the old car with another he had just made on another Government car and recom- mended paying $150 more than he should have recommended. After the bill with the Department of Agriculture had all vecn settled the Ford Motor Co. discovered the error and asked the ‘Government, four months later, for the difference. In saying the deal was closed and the company would have to stand the loss McCarl quoted a decision of Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court, who said “men must turn square corners when they deal with the Government.” “The general rule is,” said McCarl, “even where there is a clear of & mistake in the submission of the , the contractor must bear the conse- quences thereof.” ‘The Secretary of Agriculture backed up the claimant with an explanation of how the mistake was made, saying that the old truck traded in had besa driven spproximately 50,000 miles, and officials estimated $75 to $100 was a fair esti- mate of its market value. The company allowed $245 by mistake. The Govern- ment paid the difference of only $231.40 for the new truck.
